Well said. 300 pounds in this vehicle is nothing. Also beyond the self parking feature (not sure I would like that or how many times one would use it to be honest) the hand gesture and the other stuff is useless IMHO. Moreover the car looks like the chubby ugly sister of the current 5 series. Sad...
